Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 3 medium apples, cored and chopped
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- Ice cubes (for serving)
Instructions
- Place the fresh pineapple chunks and chopped apples into a blender.
- Add the cold water and blend until smooth. The aroma of the blended fruits will be wonderfully vibrant and fresh.
- Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher to remove any pulp, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract all the juice.
- Add the fresh lemon juice to the strained juice for a tangy zest, and stir well.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, add honey and stir until it’s completely dissolved.
- Serve the juice over ice cubes in chilled glasses for an extra refreshing touch. Enjoy the delightful union of pineapple and apple flavors!
Helpful Tips and Variations
- Substitute honey with agave syrup or a sugar-free sweetener to suit your dietary needs.
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a few mint leaves while blending, or use carbonated water instead of still water for a fizzy twist.
- This juice can be perfect for brunches, family gatherings, or even as a refreshing post-workout drink.
Storage and Substitutions
- Store any leftover juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Give it a good shake before serving as natural separation can occur.
- If fresh pineapple is unavailable, you can use canned pineapple chunks, ensuring they are in juice and not syrup.
- Use Granny Smith apples for a slightly tart version, or mix different apple varieties for a more complex flavor.
Pairings and Complements
This delightful Pineapple Apple Juice pairs beautifully with light snacks such as fresh fruit salads, vegetable crudités with dip, or simple finger sandwiches. For a touch of sweetness, it complements desserts like apple pie, pineapple tarts, or vanilla cupcakes.
